| Sumario: | Once again, an old-time concept once dismissed has now been shown as valid with modern research. Natural health clinicians have long recognized that digestive disturbances greatly contribute to chronic disease. To the roles in maldigestion of hypochlorhydria and dysbiosis we can now add pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (EPI).

This editorial explores the prevalence of EPI and its diagnosis, causes, and interventions. |
